Tic Tac Toe - True Love

I love Rochelle's challenges because you multiple chances to win if you use different items of the challenge.

I've used the bottom line in the Tic Tac Toe - the colour red, tags and doodle and combined them with the sketch and the use of the word 'Love'.  My doodling is the white flowers mimicking the patterned paper and the outside border on the page.

I really love Red, Black and White together so the papers from Glitz Design were perfect .

Thanks for stopping by.

Boys Rule, Check it Out

There's another fab sketch at Boys Rule this month and I loved doing this one with the PP and collectables from Kaisercraft and a favourite stencil from Scrap FX.

Studio75 - Family

I found a new challenge blog at Studio 75 and this month they have a great sketch.
This is my interpretation.

I used a swirly background cut from my Cameo Silhouette machine and PP from We R Memory Keepers - Love Notes.  You'll also see some fabulous embellishments from d-lish scraps.

Thanks for looking.

Kraft Plus - Our Life is Wonderful

If you haven't visited already there's a new challenge site called Kraft Plus, this one really put me to the test.  Mango Breeze is the colour challenge this month and it's a beauty, you don't have to use the picture but must use some colours.  Here's my interpretation for this month.

I loved how these galah's tried to get my husband's lunch, even trying to take it from his mouth, it was so funny to watch.

Here's the Mood Board

Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits - Boys will be Boys

Here's a great sketch challenge from Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits and it closes at the end of February so plenty of time to play along.  Here's mine:

I've used Kaisercraft papers and a Prima stamp on this one with starts cut with a Spellbinders die.  I love the handmade star from Charms Creations, she makes such beautiful handmade embellishments.

Scrappy Friends - Grateful

If you haven't already why not take a peek at Scrappy Friends Challenge, they have three different things for you to enter or combine all three.  They will appear at the end of my post.
Here's my entry.

I went a little vintage because the photo is about 50 years old.  I loved using the gold and I used my silhouette machine and Big Shot to cut all of the pieces and also some gold embossing on the background.  I've also included the three patterned papers so you can see I used the right hand side of the 'Tic Tac Toe' board.

I also loved the colours and thought they worked well in a vintage style layout (so soft and pretty) as well as the sketch.

Thanks for visiting today.

Show Us Your Stuff - Best Buddies

My layout for Show Us Your Stuff is from their fabulous sketch this month, again I've rotated to suit my photos.  I've used Fancy Pants Designs True Friends patterned paper collection and I love the range, if you can get the pack that includes alphas etc you wont be sorry.

My photos were a little shiny and it didn't matter what I did the one on the left still flared slightly.

The challenge rule is to have a handmade embellishment on your project and it can be made by you or someone else, mine are handmade flairs by me, I'll show a close-up of two of them near my heat embossed cogs.  The larger one at the top of the page is made with the Epiphany Tool.  

I also used some Kaisercraft stick-ons and D-Lish Scraps coated wire along with my dry and heat embossed cogs because when these two get together you can almost see the cogs turning over wondering what they might do next!!!
